Currently, There is two types of Executor in `concurrent.futures`. They are `ThreadPoolExecutor` and `ProcessPoolExecutor`, there is GIL limitation of `ThreadPoolExecutor` and `ProcessPoolExecutor` need to use `pickle` which have limitation on decorated function.
It would be nice to add new Executor `UnixForkExecutor` which is based on `os.fork` and shared memory (to return future). The drawback of UnixForkExecutor can only be used on Unix platform. This is not a problem, because the majority people use python for parallel computing on Unix platform. Anyone have any opinion about it? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/BBG6NAQBCSSLRXB275FBOEGA7OFY7ZPD/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
